N-type Ga{sub 0.8}In{sub 0.2}Sb epitaxial layers have been grown on GaSb and GaAs substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) using diethyltelluride (DETe) as the dopant source. The incorporation efficiency of Te in Ga{sub 0.8}In{sub 0.2}Sb and the electron mobility were found to be higher with GaSb substrates compared to using GaAs substrates. The electron concentration increased from 5 {times} 10{sup 16} cm{sup {minus}3} to 1.5 {times} 10{sup 18} cm{sup {minus}3} as the Te concentration was increased from 1 {times} 10{sup 17} cm{sup {minus}3} to 5 {times} 10{sup 18} cm{sup {minus}3}. As the Te concentration was increased further, the electron concentration decreased, with only about 1% of the Te electrically active at a Te concentration of 2 {times} 10{sup 20} cm{sup {minus}3}.
